February 26, 200818 yr sounds like a movie title...a bad, bad Paris Hilton movie. Tampa, Florida – Prejudice against pretty? That's the claim from a pair of 18-year-old best friends from Oldsmar who were escorted off a Southwest Airlines plane. USF student Nisreen Swedberg and friend Sarah Williams claim the flight crew was rude to them from the moment they stepped onto the plane at Tampa International Airport on February 14. Swedberg said she asked a flight attendant for a bottle of water and was told she could wait until the rest of the flight was served. “And I patiently waited and then when they came around with water, they skipped me,” Swedberg said. At one point, Williams had to use the plane's bathroom. She saw another passenger in it, and when he hadn't come out 15 minutes later, she knocked on the door. When he came out, Williams says the man came over to her seat and yelled a profanity at her. Williams admits she yelled a profanity back at him but was puzzled when she says the flight crew only questioned her. “I think they were just discriminating against because we were young decent-looking girls. I mean, nobody else on the plane looked like us except us,” she said. “[The flight attendants] were like older ladies. We were younger. Who knows, they could have been just jealous of us because we were younger.” Southwest defends the incident, saying the women caused a disruption on the flight. When the plane landed in Los Angeles, the women were escorted off by four uniformed police officers and later questioned by the FBI. Nearly two hours later, the women were released. No charges were filed. Still, Williams and Swedberg say they were banned from all future Southwest Airlines flights, including their scheduled flight home to Tampa. Swedberg spent $419.50 on a one-way return ticket and arrived at TIA on Monday. Williams is still in Los Angeles trying to find a cheaper flight home. She hopes to be back to Tampa by Saturday. linky you be the judge: the blonde ain't bad...but the uggo who looks like she got beat with a stick certainly isn't.
February 26, 200818 yr With Southwest, anything is possible. They are abandoning the casual traveler and trying to go for that business market now. So, they have to 'clean up' their image a bit. However, if Southwest banned me from the return flight I had a ticket for, THEY had better be finding me a flight back or a nice lawyer friend would be visiting them real soon.
February 27, 200818 yr The brunette looks like a 'poor-mans Kim Kardashian' Not that that is a GOOD thing.........just pointing out the slight resemblence
February 27, 200818 yr Hey, if you are the only airline that is actually MAKING money, you can pretty much do whatever you want! But, considering the sad state of affairs the airline industry is, if they really didn't do anything, then that's just not a smart move.
February 27, 200818 yr Both are hot, and easily do-able. End of story. But then again... I'll have to see enough "visual evidence" to help my statement.. Edited February 27, 200818 yr by SoxAce
February 27, 200818 yr The fact that they were banned is making me lean towards the airline telling the truth. I wouldn't doubt if the two chics were being b****es and tried to cover it up.
February 27, 200818 yr Gentlemen, you disappoint me. Beauty is always just the flip of a light switch away. Even for those skanks.
February 27, 200818 yr Nisreen Swedberg? Sounds like she was prejudiced against for being Muslim and Jewish. That's a rough combo
February 27, 200818 yr those 2 are goof-ball lairs. I guarantee that they were obnoxious b****es causing disturbances on the plane, and that this being too pretty crap is just to try and make the airline look like the bad guys. Edited February 27, 200818 yr by BearSox

February 27, 200818 yr Isn't this the rock bottom of discrimination excuses? When, in this country, have people not been polite and done whatever possible for good looking, young women? And I've been on flights with tools and nobody says anything, er I don't think they do. I doubt the airline wants to take the heat if they don't have to.
